John Grant has announced his new album “The Art Of The Lie” which is due out this June alongside the new funky single ‘It’s A Bitch’.
Due for release on 14 June via Bella Union, Grant began prep work on the record in the Autumn of 2022 after meeting Ivor Guest, producer and composer at Grace Jones’ Southbank show, the finale of her Meltdown Festival.
They began talking about two records Guest had worked on, ‘Hurricane’ for Jones, ‘Prohibition’ for Brigitte Fontaine. “Grace and Brigitte are two very big artists for me,” says Grant. “I love the albums he did for them. ‘Hurricane’ is an indispensable piece of Grace’s catalogue.” which got Grant thinking; “I said, I really think you should do this next record with me. He said, I think you’re right.”
A year and a half later, “The Art of The Lie”, a title that no doubt would aptly convey the wordplay fitting of the grand and audacious production that Grant likens to ‘the musical flavours of The Art of the Lie to the sumptuous Vangelis soundtrack for Bladerunner or the Carpenters if John Carpenter were also a member.’
John Grant will play Vicar Street, Dublin, on 22 October, 2024 following the June release of his new album as part of a European and UK tour.
